Hi there. If you haven’t visited studiogroenling.nl for a while, you’ll notice a lot has changed.

That’s still me, standing in front of some leaves (I love plants), living and working from the historic city of Middelburg in the Netherlands with my husband and our two cats, pursuing a healthier work-life balance.

I’ve always been passionate about art, illustration, plants, vintage and sustainable living and it was about time I implemented all of those things in my life and my work.

A little backstory: in 1996 I started working in graphic design and have been running my own small business (now studio groenling) ever since, gradually adding illustration, photography, consultation, translation and copywriting to the mix.

I’m currently available for editorial and book illustration. If you have any questions or requests, do get in touch! My portfolio on this website will soon be active.

Personal projects: around 2011 I started blogging, crafting and drawing whenever I could find the time, back then using the alias Mouseblossom (my nickname is Mouse). In addition, I founded visualstrands.com in 2015; an online lifestyle zine featuring & connecting inspiring people in art, design, illustration, photography, urban green, the great outdoors & more. Just get in touch if you have a fun idea or would like to be featured: I’m here to cheer you on!
